The more time you've spent on the road, the more experience you have. When it comes to car insurance rates, that experience can really pay off. According to the table above, you can see that 18-24-year-olds pay $169 more than someone who is at retirement age.

You can expect to see your monthly premium drop every 10 years or so. New Rochelle drivers may see their rates climb back up once they hit retirement age.

Average Auto Insurance Rates by Driving Record

One of the key factors in determining your car insurance rates is your driving record. Those with fewer accidents and tickets will pay significantly less than those with multiple infractions. Drivers in New Rochelle with a single accident will pay around $141 a month. Likewise, drivers with one ticket on their record will be looking at an average rate of around $124.

Regardless of where you live, accidents, tickets, and other driving infractions can drive your monthly bill way up. So, if cheap car insurance is something you're after, drive safely and keep a clean record.

Truck and van drivers will see rates of about $217, while the rates for SUV owners average out to about $193 a month.

Depending on how old your vehicle is, you can also expect to see slightly different rates. Generally, newer vehicles are going to cost the most to insure. Once your car is a few years old, however, your monthly bill may start to dip back down. In New Rochelle, the most expensive vehicles to insure are vehicles fifteen years and older.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Relationship Status

Overall, those who have settled down into marriage will pay slightly less to insure their vehicle. This occurs because insurance companies commonly extend special discounts to policyholders with multiple vehicles that are on the same policy.

On a national scale, married drivers typically pay less than single drivers for auto insurance. New Rochelle is no exception, with the difference totaling to around $28 a month.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Housing Situation

Another factor that comes into play is your living accommodations. If you rent your home or apartment, expect to pay around $24 a month more than if you own your own home in New Rochelle. Those who live with their parents, however, can expect to pay a lot more.
